Patent number: 11277652Abstract: A system finds and aggregates the most relevant and current information about the people and things that a user cares about. The information gathering is based on current context (e.g., where the user is, what the user is doing, what the user is saying/typing, etc.). The result of the context based information gathering is presented ubiquitously on user interfaces of any of the various physical devices operated by the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Cesare John Saretto, Peter Tobias Kinnebrew, Nicholas Ferianc Kamuda, Henry Hooper Somuah, Matthew John McCloskey, Douglas C. Hebenthal, Kathleen P. Mulcahy

Patent number: 10824294Abstract: Various methods and systems, for implementing three-dimensional resource integration, are provided. 3D resource integration includes integration of 3D resources into different types of functionality, such as, operating system, file explorer, application and augmented reality functionality. In operation, an indication to perform an operation with a 3D object is received. One or more 3D resource controls, associated with the operation, are accessed. The 3D resource control is a defined set of instructions on how to integrate 3D resources with 3D objects for generating 3D-based graphical interfaces associated with application features and operating system features. An input based on one or more control elements of the one or more 3D resource controls is received. The input includes the one or more control elements that operate to generate a 3D-based graphical interface for the operation. Based on receiving the input, the operation is executed with the 3D object and the 3D-based graphical interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Enrico William Guld, Jason A.

Patent number: 10223799Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for methods and systems of distinguishing movements of features in a physical environment. For example, on a head-mounted display device, one embodiment of a method includes obtaining a representation of real-world features in two or more coordinate frames and obtaining motion data from one or more sensors external to the head-mounted display device. The method further includes distinguishing features in one coordinate frame from features in another coordinate frame based upon the motion data.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Adam G.

Patent number: 9679060Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for customizing a user's experience with an application such as a search engine application. The user's experience is customized based on inferring a mood and/or interests of the user at least in part from an analysis of the user's posts on one or more social media sites. The search engine application is configured to include a user-following engine which follows a user's activities on social media websites. By tracking a user's posts and other activity on social media websites, and possibly those of his or her friends, the user-following engine is able to draw inferences about a user, including for example the user's emotional state, current trending interests, future plans, likes/dislikes and aspirations. The user-following engine may then customize the user's search experience based on these drawn inferences.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2010Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Douglas C.
